LONDON TUESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 6,183 S. By the Royal Willianz, which arrived at Liverpool Yesterday from N ew Y or k, we h ave rece i ve d N ew York Papers of the 9 0th, Philadelphia and Baltimore Paper s of the 19ih, Quebec Papers of the I lth, and Montreal Papers of the 16th ult. inclusive. The Poyai William sailed from New York on the evening of the 20th, and although the weather was very st°7 -" l 3', and she encountered some severe gales, she !bade the passage in fifteen days. The news received by he r is most important. Lord DURHAM, in a long Pr oclamatio n addressed to the inhabitants of British America, which will be found in another part of The Sun, virtually re signs the Govern_ went of Her Majesty's dominions in North - America, and - formally announces his intention of proceeding forthwith to England. The Noble Earl enter s into a full explanation of the reasons which have induced him to adopt such a resolution ; and it is impossible to take them into consideration without being satisfied that his Lordship has now no other alternative. He tells the Canadians that lie was per fectly aware on assuming the government of British North America, that his authority was in the strictest sense of the word despotic ; and he re joiced that, being uncontrouled by constitutional forms, he could pursue the great ends of jus tice and sound policy in a free and unfettered spirit. His Lordship's aim was to remove the causes of dis sension ; to elevate the Province of Lower Canada to . 11 thorou g hl y B r i t i sh feeling ; and, having introduced harmony among the jarring elements, to crown his labour s by being instrumental in conferring upon "an united people" a more extensive enjoyment of free and responsible government. In accomplishing these F e at objects he looked forward to the cordial support ,_ and co-operation of P ar li ament an d t h e Ministry-- "eing aware thai without such support all his labours Wo uld prove abortive. He has been disappointed ; and ther e f ore, as his authority is no longer sufficient to fire hi m to secure t h e tranqu illi ty an d esta bli sh tir e freedo m of the Canadas, his Lordship has other alternative than to resign, and leave the res ponsibilit y o f t h e Government to rest upon t h e Sho ulders of her MAJESY'S Ministers. Lord DURHAM'S Proclamation created quite a sensation in the United States. In the New York Weekl y Herald of the 20th, we find the following obse rvations noon its appearance : Lord Durham is man of great talents, remarkable address, ttd f The high ambition that naturally attends genius. It is i r ne that many make objections to him, on. the score of Leraper—bt it is singular fact in his carreer, that, when T-e had a great purpos% to attain, his temptr was regulated n . under the controul of his will. He will return to Eng c_r"A with the same feelings towards Lord Aldbourneswhich temp er entertains - towards Lord Brougham. The tone and . 'ernper of his Proclamation are calculated . to cause a prodigi ous impression in England. It will raise for him a position of Dgreat influence, power, and st rengt h . F or many sears L ord , urham has been in search of the point he has now reaohed— apo:nt from which be will ultimately seize the Premiership. , But while his departure opens a fine prospect for himself, ae leaves the Canadas at an unfortunate time. In the short Period he has been there, his conduct towards Americans, as well as Canadians, has done much to restore harmony on the border. What a contrast the sentiments of this Proclamation Present, so far as regards the United States, to the pitiful, pal try effusion of Sir Francis Head ! The Quebec Gazette sta!es that Lord DURHAM 'ras to leave Montreal for NlTashington, on his return to England, on the 27th: The Montreal Herald fakes the 20th the date of his departure, and adds thati he bad or d ere d t h e M a l a b ar, o f 74 guns, to awa i t ms orders at New York.

To-day we pub the Na v y f ro m Captain NAPIER, MbplitinS, like every ' rational person who has ever attended to the subject, that enough has not been done to provide men for the Fleet. After twenty three years' peace, the Navy remains branded with all the odium of impressment. Our ships are still gaols guarded by soldiers, and places of exile and punish ment. Not one effort of the least importance has ever been made by all the successive Admiralties, Whig or Tory, since 1815, to deprive them of this character, and provide a substitute for the abomi nation of impressment. If, however, the Admiralty and the country think that even a war at our own shores, much less a war to prevent Russian aggressions on Persia and Turkey, would make our seamen, in the present state of political opinion and political know ledge, submit to impressment, they are, we are afraid, much mistaken. America offers them a home and a refuge ; and if they did not openly resist im pressment, as we believe they would, they would, as heretofore, take shelter in America. The beginning of impressment would be the signal for a general rebellion or a general desertion of the seamen, who would properly leave the country to be defended by those virtuous prelates, high-minded nobles, hu mane and charitable landowners, merchants and ma nufacturers, who, in their legislative capacity, would again treat our seamen as brutally as the inhabitants of Africa were ever treated by those who sold them into slavery. There is no want of ships. No expense has ever been spared for the wood and iron of the Navy. Thousands, aye, even millions of pounds sterling have been wasted on hulls which have been laid up to rot, but the .just method of buying the voluntary services of the seamen, to any extent that might be required, has always been objected to on the score of the most pediing, disgraceful, un- just parsimony. The consequence is, that after 23 years of peace, when the population has swarmed, and is swarming over all parts of the world, men enough cannot be obtained to man a few sail of the line. We know that the greatest difficulty was experienced in getting men for the ships now in commission, and unless some bold, manly, and just step be taken to redeem the character of our Navy—unless it be pub . - ' licly and authoritatively relieved from the felon stigma with which impressment brands it—that difficulty will continue and will augment. Admiral NAPIER says that the Government ought to manage to have ten sail of the line ready for sea next spring ; but, however urgently they may be required, it may be doubted if sea men enough to man such a number of ships could be obtained, between this and the beginning of March. Too soon, however, the Legislature and the public cannot begin to encourage men to enter our Navy ; too soon cannot the Admiralty and the Parliament dis avo w all intention of ever again having recourse to impressment, or any other coercive method of getting 'seamen ; such as the Frenchified and disguised im pressment recommended by Admiral NA PIER, and adopted without the least benefit by Sir JAMES GRAHAM ; and too soon cannot the whole nation treat the very useful, and even indispensable trade of a seaman, whether in the merchants' or Queen's ships, as a very honourable occupation, worthy of much higher pay than it now receives. Our existence, as a great and independent nation, depends no more on growing corn enough to feed all our people than on growing cotton, but it does depend on increasing the numbers and elevating the character of our seamen ; and if the legislating landlords had em ployed the tenth part of the sum of which they have annually plundered the community since 1815, to provide seamen for our ships in case of emer gency, instead of making war against our trade, we should now he ready, if necessary, to defy the world. At present we must be humble, and perhaps submissiic, lest France seize the opportunity of England being at war with Russia to revenge what still unfortunately rankles in the hearts of all her people as an everlasting disgrace, the victory of Wa terloo. The High Church organs have been wonderfully silent for some days, on the atrocious attempt of the Marquis of HEADFORT, and thousands of landowners in the South of Ireland, to shake off the burden of tithes. Probably Mr. O'CONNELL will furnish them with some new topics a the meeting which is to be held in the county of Tipperary on Thursday next. But, after all, we are not surprised at their silence. It is to rem a sore subject, and their mode of meeting the ques- tion amounts to an acknowledgment of the great error of the party in refusing good offers never to be repeated. They make a dreadful noise and bustle, like a man engaged in an unjust quarrel, and_ like him get out of the fray with all convenient speed. Their opponents have all along had the best of the argument, they have had also precedent sanctioned by legislative enactments, and they have now power. In the long history of Tory mismanagement perhaps there never was such an egregious blunder committed. The anti-tithe men said from the beginning, and even up to the close of last session—Provide liberally for the Protestant Church, and all we ask is the surplus of the tithes for the education of the Catholic peasantry. No— the offer was rejected again and again ; and in spite of common sense, justice, and policy, the House of Lords decreed that the whole of the tithes should be set apart for only a tithe of the population. The landlords now say— We only follow the example of that nation whom Lord LIVERPOOL called "a well-conditioned people," whom so many writers praise for their morality, religion, and also for their worldly prudence, in time last of which we have been sadly deficient, and we will adopt a precedent set us by the Scotch landlords, who put a large portion of the tithes into their own pockets ; and since you will not allow us to give a small portion, as the moral Scotch did, to the Church of the people, we will do our best to keep all to ourselves. This little incident in the history of the Church of Scotland, holds out strong encouragement to the, anti-tithe agitators, and as possibly an account of it may not be uninteresting to the Tory Peers, we will give it in the words of Mr. M'CuLLocK, in an article on " Scotch Tithes or Teinds." On the Reformation, teinds and other Church property suffered much dilapidation ; the greater par having been seized by the nobility and highergentry, a small portion only has since been devoted to the - maintenance of religion. In 1561, by an Act of the Privy Council, a third part of the Ecclesiastical Revenue was given to the Church, but of this third no small portion was discharged by the QUEEN, or bestowed in pensions on favourites of the Court. And in another place he adds, that at present the landlords and others retain a clear yearly surplus of 124,3181. of Tithe property. We perceive by the Tory Journals that two " As sociation" guzzles were celebrated last week by persons belonging to that faction which is opposed to every thing in the shape of improvement. Last year a great effort was made to establish Anti-Reform Societies ; and, by dint of cajoling, treating, and other kindred practices congenial to the spirit of the party, the effort was, to all appearance, successful to a certain event. These confederacies, however, opposed, as they were, to the best feelings of the best part of the public, could not be expected to thrive. The principles on which they were founded never can take root among the English people, and, accordingly, we find that they are already in a state approaching to dissolution. We now and then; as in the instances before us, hear of a pro forma meeting of the fag-end of some of these h i ghesOttncling Associations to celebrate the anniversary THE SUN,:LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1838. of its foundation, the only effect of which is to pro. claim to the world how completely the attempt to torify the popular mind has failed. The two " celebrations," to which we have alluded, took place, the one at Droitwich, the other at Brent wood, and were intended to commemorate, respectively, the anniversary of the banding together of the Tories of East Worcestershire and of South Essex. The persons who attended were few in number, and among them we can find none of those whose high titles used last year to be blazoned with such an air of triumph in the columns of the Tory Newspapers. Not a single noble name, in any sense of the word, do we see in the lists of these meetings. This is a sad falling off, and will not be compensated by the attendance of the more rabid of . the Parsons, who are now as cheap as dirt, and whose names, of course, carry no weight with the public. - We need not take up either our own space, or the time of our readers, by an analysis of the speeches delivered at these meetings. They consist of nothing but the old hackneyed topics, inveterate abuse of het MAJESTY'S Ministers, because they will not resign the Government to the Tories, contradictory and clumsy attempts to misrepresent the views of the Reformers, the most nauseous flattery of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and the choicest flowers of Billingsgate showered upon th e; head of Mr. O'CONNELL. We are glad to learn, for the honour of human na ture, even when &Lased by contamination with the unredeemed selfishness of rank and power, that the conduct of tue Court Physi - Cian was not as bad as it was described to be. Sir HENRY HALFORO'S lone . delayed, and at length extorted explanation will be be found in another place, and if he have been ex posed to a hard measure of disapprobation, it was because he has treated public opinion with too much neglect or contempt. An earlier contradiction of the published report would have benefited no per son so much as Sir HENRY HALFORD. That it now completely exculpates him the public will hardly admit. Sir HENRY trust, of course, have known the nature of the attack, and that prompt bleeding was neces sary. He had not, however, a lancet of his own, and he trusted Mr. LOCKLEY'S life to the chance of Mr. DEWSBURY'S arrival. At least if he would not bleed Mr. LOCKLEY himself, he miiht have made himself sure, by waiting to see Mr. DEWSBURY, that Mr. LOCKLEY would be bled, and might have given his directions personally, instead of transmitting them verbally through the humane keeper of a railway station-house, and immediately departing. We admit that much of the disgust which was excited by the first report disappears on learning that Mr. LOCKLEY lived twelve days after his seizure, but that does not in our estimation render Sir H. HALFORD'S conduct in not bleeding Mr. LOCKLEY himself, or not waiting to see him in the hands of another medical practitioner, either amiable or friendly. The whole of the Paris journals of Sunday have been received, but they contain no domestic news of any interest. From Russia and Spain they bring im portant intelligence, Which will be found in another part of The Sun. riA .IBIJRCi BORSEN IIALLE, Nov. 2. Bills. Money. Austrian hlctal'iclues, 5 per cent.

Mr. HILL—On the ground that under the Act of Parlia ment the defendants have two very distinct characters—they are first proprietors of the Railway, and by the Act they are specially empowered to become carriers. The averment in the declaration does not charge them as proprietors of the railway, but as carriers; and in an action against them as car riers, it was not competent for the plaintiff to give evidence of any negligence relating to the fences. Suppose an action was brought against a coach-master, who might happen also to be a surveyor of highways, would it be competent for the plaintiff to give in evidence that the highway was out of repair? The LORD CHIEF BARON—In an action for damage done to goods, the proprietor would be liable, Mr. HlLL—Undoubtedly. But in this case the risk was in the plaintiff himself. The Company had not insured that the horses would be carried safely, but that they would use all due diligence for their safe carriage. That was one of the pleas of the defendant, and that now raised the question of the cor rectness of the declaration. The Legislature hai very care fully kept the two characters distinct. The general object of the Act was to give the defendants powers to construct the railway ; and, by the 156th section, they are expressly em powered to become carriers. So careful were they to keep the two characters distinct, that there were two tables—one of tolls to be taken as proprietors, and one of rates to be taken as carriers. The LORD CHIEF BARON —Don't you think that the railroad is very much of the nature of a machine, such as is used by carriersin the transport of goods ? _ Air. HILL said—lo. The public has a right to put on carriages cn the railway. Any one has a right to do so; and, therefore, it cannot be in the nature of a machine. There is a public carrier on the Bolton Railway, I believe; suppose an action was brought against him, would he be liable for such an accident? Lord ABINGER—This is a question merely of a slight variance of the declaration. I should, indeed, be sorry to throw out the least doubt as to the liability of these companies. In my opinion they are responsible to the utmost extent for the perfecOosi of those undertakings, by which they obtain a great monopoly. Mr.. I - Liu—There can be no doubt of their liability. The question is, whether the two distinct characters of the Company have not been conjoined in the declaration. The kgal liability applying to the different characters is so diff rent that it renders it a matter of much importance to have the question settled. Mr. Baron PARKE—Does not legal negligence apply when a carrier takes goods in charge, and does not deliver them when be arrives at the end of the journey ? Mr. BlLL—Certainly ; but only to the extent of their con tract as carriers. Mr. Baron PARSE—Is not your objection deeper? Don't you deny making any contract for the safe and secure delivery of the horses, but merely contr tcted that you would use due caution, diligence, and care in their carrying? Mr, HlLL—That is our objection. Another is, that we were acting in pursuance of the purposes of the Act, and there fore were entitled to notice before the action was brought. The COURT—No. The Act gives you power to construct a railway, but it does make it compulsory on you to carry either goods or passengers. You may take a rule. Mr. HILL had another point to submit. He complained of misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge. The defend ants proved a special contract that a notice was read ever to the plaintiff limiting the liability of the Company, which note was delivered to the son of the plaintiff, who accompa nied the horses, but he denied ever having received it. The COURT—Why not content yourself with reading the note to the plaintiff ? Mr. HILL—It came out that the son denied the receipt of the note, and we wished to strengthen our testimony. The Learned Judge left it to the Jury upon the testimony of the son. The COURT said the attention of the Judge ought to have been called to the point at the time. They would consult him before granting a rule upon this ground. Rule granted upon the two first grounds. KNIGHT, ASSIGNEE OF BARROW, V. FERGUSON. Mr. S ergeant T ALFOURD moved for a rule nisi to set aside a nonsuit in this ease, and to enter a verdict for such sum as a gentleman of the bar might think due. The action was tried at the late Abingdon Assizes, before Lord Abinger. The plaintiff was assignee of an insolvent, named Barrow, who was an innkeeper at some place in Berkshire. In December, 1836, Barrow was labouring under very considerable difficulties, having no less than six execution s in the house. The defendant was one of the execution cre ditors. In this state of things the insolvent executed a trust deed, upon which the present question arose. The question was, whether that eked was a voluntary one or not within the Act of Parliament, as there was no doubt of the fact that Bar row went to prison long within the period of three months. The fact was, that the deed was executed in December, 1836. Barrow as arrested in January, 1837 ; he petitioned the Insol vent Court in March and obtained his discharge in June; 'rout the Act of Parliament fixed the period of the arrest es that from which the intention was to be inferred. The amoun t o f execut i ons i n the house was 2561., the full amount of money received by the defen dant and the other trustee was 5901., but they claimed to set off various payments; that, however, was for the consideration of the referee. The deed was executed between the insol vent on the one part,and seven creditors on the other. The execution creditors had been paid in full. The LORD CIIIEF BARON considered it would be a hard case upon those creditors who had done all in their power for the benefit of the other creditors. They were obliged to pay out the Sheriff—they kept on the inn till they obtained a renewal of the license and a transfer, when they sold to much greater advantage than the Sheriff could have done. It would, indeed, rule.—Rule granted. e l a_hardeaseiftltedeed was voided now. However, take a ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) JUDGMENT.-EVANS V. TWEEDY. The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment in this case, which came on upo n e x c ep t ion s t o th e Master's Report , on a petition to confirm the Report, presented by Nlaria Bowes, the widow and executrix of the late Ge n eral Foord B owes. The suite was instituted for the ad m i e , stration of the estate of Thomas Hartley, who died in March, 1608. The decree was made on the 16th of May, 1835, and it directed the Master to enquire whellter any of the debts and legacies of the testator, Thomas Hartley, re. mained unpaid. Under the decree the petitioner, Mrs. Bowes, made her claim, and the Master, by his Report dated April 26, 1838, found a debt of 7001., with interest at five per cent., from the 3d of April, 1803, remained unpaid, and was payable to the petitioner. To this Report the plaintiffs excepte d. The case alleged by Mrs. Bowes was, that in the of the year 18 0 3 a certain estate, c ons i st i ng o f free beginning bold and copyhold land, belonging to the late Gen. Bowes was vested in trusteessasin trust to seg the same for his benefit; that the trustees agreed to sell it to Thomas Hartley, for 7001. that Hartley made the purchase fcr the benefit of his son John Hartley, the younger, and that the copyh o ld was surrendered to his use; that a conveyance to him of the freehold was pre pared - arid signed, and possession of the land gi ven to T homas Hartley, the father ; but that in this state of things the trans action, from some unexplained cause was interrupted, the pur chase money was never paid, the deed of conveyance remained undelivered in the hands of the vender, or his solicitor, and no claim was made till 1836, thirty-three years after the date of the alleged transaction. But it was insisted the claim, notwithstanding the lapse of time, was sustainable, because the party interested in the personal estate of Hartley, bad from time to time admitted the debt to be due, and because the debt was clearly established, and that as it consisted of unpaid purchase-money it constituted a charge on the land, and was not affected by the length of time. His Lordship, however, was of opinion that upon- the evidence no admission in favour of General Bowes or his estate was established, with respect to its constituting a lien for unpaid purchase-money. His Lordship was at a loss for grounds on which to establish the lien in this case where it was not known with accuracy what was the contract between or what the land to be conveyed was, or the parties, what was the price to be paid. The evidence shewed completely that in the course of the. year 1803 there was a surrender of some copyhold land, and an imperfect con veyance prepared of some freehold land by the trustees of General Bowes to Hartley the son ; that in the year 1806 the testator admitted he had purchased from General Bowes some land for which he had not paid ; that Hartley, at the time of his death, was in possession of some land without any deed of conveyance, and that an imperfect conveyance, not identified, was found in th e possess i on of a person who was the solicitor ' of General B owes an d Mr. Hartley. The books of Hartley contained some entries of doubtful import, and not satis f. ace..m a ily explained f ; and aft er hi s d eat h hi s executors be lievedof the purchase.tsuisThemoneyo was due to General Bow es i n r espect rest (his Lordship observed) was all su rm i se, and the transaction was left in the greatest obscurtty. It was possible that between 1806, when the tes tator had stated the purchase was not settled, and 1808, when the testator died, some material transaction, unknown to the witnesses, might have talon place. It was also possible that the aff,,irs of General Bowes . were so negligently h conducted that a debt due to ' him . migl2 be lost; but d Lordship, on the whole n j o s t . made out her her claim again " S 'a t s th o e h f r ( ) ) e t p h rs e on 1 Hartley ,r ta s. te ß o o f v‘s the exceptions filed ha and therefore plaintiffs must be allowed, and the petition of Mrs. Bowes dist i nissed, but without costs.

POLLOCK moved it, this case; which was tried before Lord Denman at the London Sittings after last term, verdict for the plaintiff, for a rule to show cause why a nonsuit should not be entered by leave of the Learned Jute. The question turned upon chat was to be considered proper notice of an English bill drawn in England, but upon a Paris house, and there dishonoured. The bill was dated the 30th January, 1837, and was draw n u p on th e P ar i s h ouse of Curmeil and Co., in favour of the defendant. It was indorsed by the de fendant to the plaintiff R o th sc hild, an d was b y him transmitted to the house of Rothschild. Brothers, at Paris. It b ecame due on the 30th April, which happened to be a Sunday ; and, therefore, according to the French law, and according to the custom in England, and most mercantile countries, it became payable on the previous Saturday. It was presented for pay ment on the Saturday, but dishonoured ; and no notice of the dishonour was sent, nor any notice of the dishonour taken, till Wednesday, although the post left Paris for London every afternoon at five o'clock. The intimation might have been sent on the Monday or Tuesday; and the question shortly to be presented to their Lordships was, what was th e notice to be given in order to charge the English endorser of an En g li s h bill which had been drawn upon, accepted, and dishonoured in a foreign country ? Was the law of the country, when the bill was accepted and dihonoured, to obtain with re ference to the notice to be given to the English resident, in order to charge the latter, or was the English law to obtain? He was not aware of any decision upon the subject, but there was a strong authority in the case of Trimby v. Kelliard, 1 Bingham's Report, New Cases, page 151. Ifthe French law was to prevail, notice need not be given for filteen days, and in the case to which he had referred the bill was drawn in France upon an English merchant, and there the Court de cided that the law of France was to prevail with reference to the course of that bill, when the acceptor came to be charged. All authorities on the subject agreed that the law of the country where the bill began was to govern all the subsequent proceedings of the parties. The COURT granted the rule. ROACII V. TIIE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, in this case, which was tried before Lord Denman at the last Guildhall sitting, moved for leave to enter a verdict for the defendant on a nonsuit. It was an action of trotter: brought by the assignees of tno bankrupts, named Horton and Paxton, against the Great Western Railway Company, to recover the value of certain engines, utensils, and timber. The pleas were not guilty, and that the goods in question were not the property of the assignees. It appeared that the bankrupts entered into a contract with the Com pany to make the box tunnel on that line of railway, and it was proved in evidence upon the trial that the making of the shaft of the tunnel required a great deal of at. tention and care, and, once commenced, should be continued to the end ; that it would be extremely ringerous, after its commencement, to remove any portion of the works or tim. hers. The contract, which was a very lengthy one, contained a clause that if, from any cause, the contractors were unable: 'to complete the works, the Company were authorised, upon notice being given, to take the works into their own hands, and that all the fixtures, engine tools, &c., should become the property of the Company. The plaintiff contended that the _property i n question had vested in the assignees, while it was argued, on the other hand, that no act of bankruptcy had taken place at the time the notice required by the contract had been served upon the contractors. After hearing the arguments of the Learned Counsel on these points, The COURT said—You may take a rule. XCIIEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) PALME R V. THR GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. This wa s an act i on brought for the purpose of recoverin compensatio n f ron the defendants for damage susta i ne d by the plaintiffs, by t h e i r negligence in carrying horses. The action was tried before Lord Chief Justice Tindal, at the late assizes held at Warwick, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff' Mr. HILL now moved for a rule nisi to enter a nonsuit, or for a new trial. The action was brought against the Com pany fur negligence in carrying horses from Liverpool to Bir mingham. The evidence was that the horses were brought in the eve n i ng, when they started from Liverp-^Ol. They were travelling during the night, and about two or three o'clock in the morning the railway train came in contact with a horse which appeared to have strayed on the railway from a neighbouring field, the consequence of which was that the train was thrown off th e rails, one of the horses killed, and others injured. F or t h e plaintiff it was given in evidence that the feneet of the rail way were not in a proper state of repair; BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) PERFECT AND OTHERS V. BIIEE. Mr. DCNDAS said the plaintiffs in this case were the execu tors of a lad named Robinson, formerly of York, and the ac tion was brought to recover tro sums of money due from the _defendant, the Rev. R o bert Stephen Bree, to the estate of the la( 1 ) 7 . In the year 1827 he had incurred a debt to Mrs. Robinson, and g , Te a promissory note for 685/. 16s. 101, which aas n rw.in the h an d s of the executors. In 1835 he borrowed 1501 more, and these acre the sums claimed. The de fendant pleaded first, that ho made no promissory note at all. Secondly, That it was obtained from him by fraud an d covin ; thirdly, that no consideratio n was g iven for the note, and that it was a mere accommodation note ; last ly , he pleaded the statute of limitation. He should, how ever, Completely nroye the giving of the note , an d that within t last t wo or three years an acknowledgment had been g ive n wiljell would disp ose of the plea of limitation. The note dated the Bth August, 1827, for 6861. 16s, 10d. was then put in, together with a letter addressed to Mrs. Ro binson, dated April 1835, acknowledging the receipt of 1601. and stating the amount owing to be 8361. 16s. 101, as she held the note for 6861. 16i. 10d. Mr. KELLY said the defence to the action was, that not withstanding the promissory note and the writing of the ac knowledgment, it was the extent and meaning of the parties that the money should be given, and never be repaid. He admitted that three of the pleas had been disproved, and he now came to the last, that the defendants made the promissory note for the accommodation of Mrs. Robinson, and that there was not at any .time any consideration or value for his making the note. It would be for his Lord ship to say, whether, under the terms of that plea, he was at liberty to show that the money was alwiys intended to be a gift to the defendant, who had married the niece of Mrs. Ro binson. If so, he should be prepared t.) give such evidence as would entitle the defendant to a verdict. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE thought it could hardly be said that this note was given for the accommodation of the lady. Mr. KELLY said that if any other course was adopted, it must either be by motion to amend, er an application to a Court of Equity. A verdict was then given for 836/. 16s. 10d., with 1461. 7F. interest, from the date of the acknowledgment. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, THIS DAY (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) LEWIS V. BAYS.—TIIE SPIRIT OF LITIGATION. Mr. Platt, Mr. flumfrey, and Mr. Thomas appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Thessiger and Mr. Richards for the de fendent. This was,an action brought by Mr. Charles Lewis, an attorney, aga;nst the defendant, Mr. Henry Hays, a seal en graver. The declaration stated that the defendant was in debted to the plaintiff for work done, to which the defendant pleaded, that as to 12/. 10s., he never promised; secondly, that as to the sum of 1001., he ( I ...livered . a bill of exchange, which had been duly paid ; and lastly, that he had paid the sum of 121. 10s. into Court, and that the plaintiff had not suffered greater damage. This the plaintiff denied, and thereupon issue was f Mr. PLATT said the plaintiff by this action sought to recover the balance due to him from the defendant for business done and money advanced. The first item in the account was 891. 6s. 1 ld., part of which demand arose in this way. A gentleman named Lilley had some money transactions with Mr. flays, and the money not being forthcoming, proceedings were taken, and he was compelled to pay. As there was some doubt as to the legality of the trans action, on the ground of usury, the defendant employed the plaintiff to commence an action for the purpose of recovering the penalty of 3001., in which the brother-in-law of Hays (Mr. Fisher), allowed his name to be used as plaintiff, and Me. flays himself was a wit ness. The case was heard in the Court of Common Pleas, and the jury found for defendant. The bit of costs was sent to Mr. Hays in March, and application made for payment, to which the defendant replied on the 21st• May, making no objection to the amount, and promising to pay in the course of the next month. The next item arose in this way : —Mr. Hays had given a cheque for 151., which was returned unpaid, and an action was brought; and on the 24th October Mr. Lewis paid the debt and costs, amounting to 161. 19s. In November, the same year, Mr. Lewis lent him 501., it being necessary to raise some of the money on a bill for 1001., drawn by Mr. Rays upon a person named Somers, and 101. was paid for discounting. The next item was for debt and costs again, Mr. Welsh, the landlord of Mr. H a y s , h av i ng b roug ht an action for rent amounting to nearly 35/., and Mr. Lewis having paid 411. being debt and costs. The last item was in an action at the suit of a person named Spire, the holder of a bill of ex. change of 50/., for which Mr. Hayes was responsible, Mr. Lewis staying the proceedings by the payment of 511. 6s. The whole amount claimed was 2591. ls. 7d., against which credit was given for 1001. and deducting also the sum paid into Court, the balance claimed would be reduced to 1461. I ls. 7d. After the examination of several witnesses to prove the fact of the case, Mr. THESSIGER addressed the Jury for the defendant, and called Mr. Fisher, who is now confined in the Fleet priscn, to prove that he was the person who brought the action against Mr. Lilley. Other witnesses proved the payment of different sums. Mr. Baron ALDERSON charged the Jury, remarking that the only points for them to decide were whether Fisher or Hays were liable for the bill of costs, and whether there had been any agreement that Mr. Lewis should have merely the costs out of pocket. The Jury found that Hays was liable, and that Mr. Lewis was entitled to the usual costs. BOW-STREET. -(THIS DAY.) Dennis M'Carthy, a bricklayer's labourer, residing in Buckridge-street, St. Giles's, was convicted of violently kick ing Emma Shelton, aged eleven years, in a certain part of her person, and ordered to pay a fine of b/., or be committed fur two months to hard labour in the House of Correction. •It appeared that, about nine o'clock last night, the prisonv was drunk in High-street, and conducting himself in a very dis orderly manner, and, as he refused to be quiet or go home, Par sons, of the F division took him into custody. On their way to the station-house they came up with the child, whose parents live in Dudley's -court, and for whom she was going of au errand. The prisoner, without saying a word to her, committed the as sault, and she was taken home by a woman who witnessed the occurrence, when it was found she had received a serious injury. Mr. MiNstruta, directed the child, who was unable to stand, to be put into a coach and conveyed to Charing Cross Hospital. The prisoner accounted for his infamous conduct by saying he was drunk, and didn't intend any harm. MARYLEBONE.-(Tfil S DAY.) A man named Beck was fined 51. by the sitting Magistrate, Mr. RAWLTNSON, under the following circumstances. Police constable 4, D division, stated that he was informed yesterday evening some persons were letting off fire-works in the neighbourhood of Kentish Town. Thither he went, and was told by a boy they were purchased at a shop in Castle street ; having gone to No. 36 in that street, he found the prisoner Beck behind the counter, selling some rockets and '-quibs to boys in the shop. He searched the premises, and found en immense quantity of Gre-works, which the pri soner avowed he kept for sale, and the keeping of which, in the house, must have been very dangerous to all its inmates. The constable also stated the streets were infested with boys letting off squibs and rockets, and no less than four boys were in custody this morning thus charged. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. (Continued from The Sun of Monday.) BRECON. Last year five Tories here appear to have had the election all their own way, but five tables have been turned, and five Liberals last Thursday obtained a singularly splendid victory, having placed all four of their men not merely at the head of the poll, but each of them by a very large majority. The Silurian states that the 4th Liberal in the list, had a majority of 45 above the first Tory ; the first Liberal one, of 89 above th e first Tory, and th e fourth Liberal was above the fourth Tory, by 138, while the highest number polled by a Liberal last year was 205, and the highest Conservative, 232. GLOUCESTER. Five Liberals, one Tory. PORTSMOUTH. Nine Reformers, six Tories. DURHAM. Four Reformers, two Tories. STAFFORD. Four Liberals, two Tories. SOUTH MOLTON. Three Reformers, two Tories. SCARBOROUGH. Four Liberals, two Tories. At Pontefract, Guildford, Andover, Bridgewater, Warwick, Macclesfield, Preston, Newport (Isle of Wight), Bewdley, and Retford, the Tories obtained majorities ; whilst in Wind sor, Weymouth, and Barnstable, the forces of the two respec tive parties proved equal.

Our Ambassador had sent pressing in structions to the British Admiral at Vourla, to hold the fleet in readiness for any emergency that might arise.

The only variation in prices to notice is in Irish Butter, which in some instances has sold at Is. higher. Bacon con tinues in good demand, and in most other descriptions there is a steady business doing. OIL MARKET. This department is very flat for all descriptions, not even excepting the fine descriptions of Fish. Considerable uncer tainty attaches itself to prices. COLONIAL MARKET. _ _ To-day we have not had any sales of magnitude, except those of Coffee. which were rather large. The market con tinues quiet. B. P. Sugar sells rather slowly at about the prices of last week, say from 48s. 6d. to 645. 6d. The quo tation of Barbadoes is from 575. to 653. Coffee about 200 casks, and 312 bags B.P. were put up in three different sales. This quantity was large, and consequently it sold accor dingly, both as to spirit and price. No variation of im portance occurred in prices up to the time we lett the sale room, and none was expected. 642 bags Cey lon Coffee were also put up, and fetched about the previous quotations, 1003. to 105 s.

Looking at the whole of this Market we should say that it remains very much in the same state as it was last week. The imports are rather heavy. For to-morrow we have public sales of 500 bags Bengal Coffee, 39 casks of Jamaica, and 85 bag s o f Ceylon ; 2,700 bags Bengal Ginger, 80 casks Jamaica, and 20 bags Barbadoes ; and 80 hhds.

The most important information they contain is the proclama tion of the Earl of Durham, which is of great length, and will be found in another part of our Paper, with various other information from the United States and Canada. The Ex change comes 91 to 9L; Bank Shares de c li ne d to 119 +. " MONEY MARKET, FRIDAY, OCT. 19.—The Money Market is in a most interesting and curious position since the sailing of the Great Western. The fluctuations and decline of the Stock Market have been considerable. To-day there was some firmness, with a tendency to rise, but the general character still remains the same. Since the resumption of specie pay ments, the general prices of commodities have held their ground, and some of them have even advanced. Tobacco is rising ; the other elements of price generally are healthy. " To.day considerable transactions took place in foreign ex change for the Royal William steamer.' The United States Bank has been drawing for several days at 1091; this caused all other drawers to come down to the same rates. But for the United States Bank the rates of bills would advance at once to 110+ ; yet this rise would only ha temporary. A ge neral opinion prevails that foreign exchanges will fall to 107, 108, or 109, as soon as the bulk of the southern cotton bills are precipitated into our market. The Ist of October is the close of the year of the south, but cotton exchange will not become plenty for some weeks to come. " The movements of the United States Bank are therefore looked to with great interest, and have become matters of great speculation. That institution has a large amount of funds in Europe, probably fifteen millions of dollars, in addi tion to the cotton consignments. " The position of money affairs in the Northern States are steady and healthy, in spite of the untowardness of the elec tions. " In the Southern States efforts are making by the Banks to resume in January next. " On the whole, we must say, that in spite of politics, this country is gradually, we may say rapidly, recovering f rom th e extreme depression of 1837 ; we have the elements in greater abundance than any other ; our elasticity puzzles and mystifies all English financiers.—New York Herald, Oct. 20.

We have received the Quebec Papers to the 16th of Oct. Some of the Ministerial papers state positively that Sir John Colborne will establish his head-quarters at Montreal, and occupy Mr. Bingham's house, which has been fitted up for his Excellency the Governor-General. Some of the civil officers will also be transferred to Montreal. Quebec at least will be quiet during the winter. We have received private letters from the river Chambly of the Bth inst. from a gentleman. Alluding to the reports in the newspapers of disloyal conspiracies in that quarter, he assures us that there is not the slightest foundation for that assertion. The news received from the Black Sea, of a large Russian naval force assembling there and coming to Constantinople, is not credited. It originated with the Hamburgh Papers, re. ceived by the Hamburgh mail, and has not had any effect on the British funds this morning.
